It goes down and over.M: Good job, buddy. Are you working on your handwriting with Ms. Katie?P: Yep, she picks 2 wetters from my sheet.M: Oh, Ms. Katie picks the 2 best letter "L's" that you can write for her?P: Yes, mommy. I already told you that.M: I know you did, I just like to hear about what you do at school, bud. Do you know what letters are in your name?P: My name is P for Parker.
